2024 Canadian Nationals Senior Men SP

[4everchan]

Better luck to the Men's event tomorrow. Hope it goes better.

can it really go worse ?

 

[4everchan]

well here's the kicker LOL

if Wesley wins this : who do they send to junior worlds

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[RatedPG]

So, besides Wesley… who is basically guaranteed the title… who will Canada send to 4CC, Senior and Junior Worlds?

 

[TontoK]

Well, that final group was anticlimactic. Wesley was good, although not perfect, and Aleksa was pretty good, too.

But my favorites... oh man.

 

[Lutzedge]

can it really go worse ?

True, but I hope they can be much stronger, not just better. They've got the content and the potential. I just hope they can deliver.

 

[4everchan]

and this is why Skate Canada needed to announce the 4CC team BEFORE nationals... take some pressure off from these guys.

Like seriously. It's not rocket science. I deal with young talent all the time.. Why are they doing it all wrong ?

I am obviously pissed off. I will drink all the wine and watch the archives from pairs and dance... hopefully I will find some relief there... (do not spoil it for me LOL)

 

[Lutzedge]

Stephen, please recover. I think it is probably best not to do the Free. He really does seem injured, especially when he was in the K&C. I hope for the best for him.

 

[RatedPG]

For Roman, he will need a total score of over 213 domestically to be sent to International events next year. So, my aim tmrw will be for Roman to cross that barrier…. I’ve adjusted my expectations. Hopefully, skating in the second group will take the pressure off on Conrad and Roman.

Time to go to the whiteboard and do some equations.

 

[4everchan]

BTW : i attend as many competitions as I can... which means, mostly events in my hood... it's been ACI, SCI, CQE, Nationals and soon worlds...

I have NEVER seen my beloved Conrad skate live... and it doesn't look like it's happening anytime soon.

There were definitely some massive disappointments tonight, but there were some bright moments as well. My three favourite performances were those of Mikhail (I'd never even heard of him, but he's definitely on my radar now. I was so impressed with him!), Anthony (I love his creativity!), and Wesley (He's not my favourite skater, but he laid it down when it counted and provided a good performance). Hopefully the skaters who struggled tonight will be able to have redemption skates tomorrow night.

I agree. It was obvious that 4CC should have been decided early with Stephen, Wesley and Conrad. If they knew they had this upcoming event, they would feel less pressure at this event.

Are you sure you want to ask this question in a Men's event?

Wow.. great hood!

I appreciate your bright take on things. Thank you.

At the same time, it's hard not to say it out loud once more... many Canadian fans have been speaking up about the lack of competitions our men (and women) get... and if Skate Canada needed a proof that we were right, they got it tonight.

I love Anthony with all my heart but he, standing in third place without even a clean program and the triple lutz being his hardest jump says everything.

 

[4everchan]

Wow.. great hood!

you have no idea it's the best

 

[Seven Sisters]

So much doom and gloom. Did no one watch that notorious cactus, A. Selevko, lay it down at Euros today?

If he can do it, Canadian men can too.

thanks but yeah... there is not enough wine in my house to get over this which may be a good thing after all.

That would've been a lovely event to watch if I had alcohol
